Why Graham is Extra Awesome

He's almost walking! He will push himself to standing all the time, but it's almost always just so he can dive bomb/trust-fall onto a person or a pillow. He's shuffled a few steps, but is much more excited to stick the trusty crawl.

He says, "Yeah!" especially if the question is, "Do you want some milk?" or "Do you want to swing?" or "Do you want to go down the slide?"

He also says, "Mmmmmmm-DAA!" all day long just because it's so much fun.

When I hold him on my hip, he holds onto my thumb that's holding his leg. It's these little things that just about kill me.

He started giving Jude zerberts whenever he's got some skin exposed. It's hilarious. He'll pat it a couple of times and then go at it with the "zerbies," as Jude calls them. Hysterical.

I still can't take his tantrums seriously -- in fact, they almost always make me laugh. The things that make him despair or furious are things like not getting to splash around in the toilet, eat my phone, or chalk, so I just don't feel bad for him.

He will chug more milk than a 15 year old football player. Our pediatrician reminded me a couple months ago that it's best to keep it to 16 ounces and under each day and I had to stifle a giggle. I lose count of the ounces. He just drinks and eats A LOT.
